Have a little Compassion….

Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, throw cares away

What if, we were born in a place without clean water. Limited options. Dirt floors. Would we still be able to do as the song says and throw cares away this Christmas season? I don’t know the answer to that question, but I know that many of us, myself included, sometimes need to stop and reevaluate our cares. Maybe we need to throw away our petty cares and cling to what Christ told us to care about. It’s our call to care for one another and there should never be fear of going without access to food, water, shelter, and some kind of opportunity. That’s what Compassion has made sure happens for children around the globe. They took a need and have literally made a difference around the world by simply doing what we’re called to do. Maybe you do this everyday or maybe you give locally. But this Christmas season please pray and consider sponsoring a child, please consider Teh.

Merry Christmas

Meditation. Reflection. Moments of Silence. These seem to me be growingly absent from the celebration of Christmas every year. It’s hard for me to stop and focus on the season of Advent and what the coming of Christ really means and how it should be celebrated when I’m living in a constant whirl of consumer chaos. And honestly, sometimes, trying to keep my imprint to a minimum is a challenge. I feel sorry for the frazzled employees, chewed out by customers, for the shoppers who feel they have to fulfill every item on that wishlist and that without it Christmas won’t be complete. And most of all, I feel sorry that some really don’t feel the meaning of the season, anywhere in their lives- relationships, workplace, or even spiritual dwelling places. So, I guess what I’m saying is, that not only do I need to slow down and give time to truly celebrate Advent- “son of God, love’s pure light,” I need to make sure that wherever I go and whatever I am doing people get that sense of joy from me. Not the joy that comes from a new video game or that knock-off designer sweater, but the joy of knowing that a Savior arrived- the most perfect gift in the world arrived so that I could be perfectly loved, forgiven, and invited into an unconditional love relationship with Him.
